halftracks without tracks

[steve-0]

it was common when a track broke on a farm halftrack to just move the rear diff back and put tires on it. i have one like that.

here are a couple done by the military

that top one looks more like an m5H6 international truck. fenders and headlight guards at least.

 Thanks for posting. Wonder how many of these will turn up in the next two years

Interesting...but I still prefer them with tracks.  But then again, when and if the supply of tracks disappears at least there is an option.

Looks like they used the running gear from a deuce 1/2 I too wonder if one of these will show up one of these days.

The top photo is not a halftrack at all, but a Russian armored 6x6 called the BTR-152. It is an armored personnel carrier that was used by Russia and all her buddies into the cold war. When I saw the photo, I knew I had saw one, then it hit me, as a young Marine grunt, I was trained to take them out.

ya i was doing some searches and it was listed as a halftrack but its not. on my second post i posted a link to an m5 truck i had, it looks like the same fenders.

i wonder if any survived. its one of those things you would have to keep as is with the rear tires if you ever found one.
